The Stash x Nike Zoom Spiridon: a display of creativity at its best

Design concept
The Stash x Nike Zoom Spiridon is a collaborative effort by graffiti maestro Stash and experienced shoe marker Nike to rekindle the glories of a brand gone by. This particular project dusts off the cobwebs of the Air Classic BW of yesteryears and is a modern-day reincarnation of the vintage brand that incorporates a twist of contemporary street art alongside mainstream footwear design.

The New York-born artist has been practicing for countless years and Nike eventually took notice of his work back in 2003 when they enlisted him for their maiden partner project. After enjoying great success over the years, the partnership has gone on till date with the Stash x Nike Zoom Spiridon yet another hallmark of the pair’s ingenuity.
Design features
The color scheme of the sneakers is a hybrid replica of the Air Classic BW’s striking grey and blue mash up with the upper body predominantly of the former shade with classy dark lined grey strips running vertically throughout the sides of the shoe’s face.
The grey slightly rolls over to the oceanic blue tongue and ends in exquisite lace locks through which snow white laces alluringly wind up. A white mesh finishing caps off the show while teasingly providing an unrestricted view of the beguiling blend of colors.
The midsole on the other hand channels a deep midnight, almost black, navy blue and is home to Stash’s trademark graffiti imprints which adorn the bottom contour alongside an embroidered vibrant blue arrow near the front edge. The subtle arrow replaces the Swoosh logo of the old BW model. This midsole then paves the way for a pitch black sole that takes up a small portion of the midsole and runs on to engulf the entire bottom of the shoes.
And at the point where the darker midsole greets the lighter upper, a bold blue colored Nike logo stands out and breaks the white lining that runs throughout the border of the two shades. Stan’s heel branding is prominently displayed along the tab of the heel while the insole itself offers a kaleidoscopic display of blue and white patterns that much resemble small graffiti spray cans.
